This is going to get messy. Distinguishing between the pros and cons of two very different systems is at best tricky and at worst ill advised. However, the families I work are increasingly asking which is the console they should choose — and yes, casual gamers early adopt too.
Sony might be gearing to launch a new Knack game, a franchise that has had received quite a polarizing reception from the community.
While I did actually enjoy the Knack games, and found the reviews overly harsh, I do feel 2 games were enough unless the series was revitalized in a major way. For me, that would be a new Knack game for PSVR2. With the increased hardware power, those HD particle effects would be pretty awesome, surrounding the player at times. Astrobot proved that platformers can be amazing in VR, so let's hope that's where they're going with this, if real!
Translation: the next best game of all time is coming soon! Show me the money, Knack!
Surprised to see them continue this but considering how invested they are in the IP and the wider appeal, there must be some commercial sense to continue with a 3rd title

So as Japan Studios sails off into the sunset, we wanted to dedicate a Top 10 article to the best Japan Studios games, ever."
Loved locoroco and legend of dragoon. Never played gravity rush or even ape escape but I heard good things.
Beyond the memes, Knack is just a solid platformer that deserves a new home on the PlayStation 5.
I'd rather they make a new platformer IP. With Sackboy and Astro's Playroom PS5 looks very good for the platformer genre so far
I think it would be great if they rebooted it, keep the visual style, but change the tone of the story and voices to match. This game looks like it should have a semi mute protagonist with a silly professor and his rebellious apprentice. Instead knack sounds like a brainwashed soldier, the professor like an angry divorced dad, and the kid is such an average joe. And the story takes itself way too seriously, it's so clashing with it's art style
It's time for Ape Escape PS5, Dual Sense Enhanced.
Give me that first. Then whatever.
It's really not.
The first really didn't deserve a sequel, and the sequel, itself, was nothing special.
Day 1 Minecraft, too.
The dude forgot Super Mario 3D Land
Zoo Tycoon will be a sleeper hit.
I've said it elsewhere and got a million disagrees from the playstation faithful, but I have a younger family and I don't think they will be interested in Knack so much as Zoo Tycoon.
My 2 and 5 year old will almost certainly love building and exploring a zoo with Daddy. Older children may prefer a little more independence offered by a platformer or friendly game like Knack.
Ignoring launch games, when I have both consoles the One will be front and centre for "family gaming" because when my boys want to play games it will recognise them, and present age-appropriate content. Ryse and Dead Rising simply wont be there. These are the kind of features a responsible parent wants to hear about, it's far more important than what games are available on day 1.
Lets be honest, neither can compete with Nintendo for family friendliness.
